Selective directory scanning
Selects is a list of extended unix filename wildcards prefixed by + (include)
or - (exclude). This is processed in order, and the first match is used to
include or exclude a file. The default is to include if no match is made.
Directorys will only match selects ending in '/'
When scanning directories, selects are used to prune directories when
possible. A directory is not pruned unless all possible files and directories
within it are excluded. This means "-home/,+**.c" will not prune a directory
"home/" (but the directory itself will be excluded), since it is possible that
there could be a file ending in '.c' included somewhere within it. It is
dangerously easy to use selects that do not allow any directories to be
pruned. Any entry prefixed by '+**' will force scanning of all directories not
pruned by an entry earlier in the list. The safest way to explicitly prune a
directory is with a "-**" before any includes.
Thoughts
Implicit vs explicit inclusion/pruning;
a) files can be included, irrespective of whether their parent directorys are.
b) any excluded subdirectory implys exluding all files within it
a) requires complex piece-by-piece pattern compares to see if a dir can be
pruned without excluding any included files. This makes filematching easy, but
pruning hard.
b) requires piece-by-piece filename compares to see if a file is excluded
because of directory pruning. This makes matching hard, but pruning easy.
Of the two, b) is probably easier because piece-by-piece processing of proper
filenames is easier than piece-by-piece processing of extended unix wildcards.
However, one may be more intuitive and/or flexible than the other. It is
possible to exclude parent directories of included files using a), but not b).
+**.c,-** will find all *.c files using a), but b) will only include *.c files
in the start directory, due to all directories being pruned.
+**/,+**.c,-** will perform the above for b), but will also include all
directories.
default include vs default exclude...
should the default be to include or exclude?
